Sam2: Looks like you have a bunch of different screen names. Anyway, you said, “that is such a ridiculous claim”
What on earth? Sam2 (apparently you don’t read much of his posts, or you wouldn’t have asked about his gender) is a Talmud Chochom who has both a bekiyus in many rishonim and achronim but also has a very good koach hasboro as well as a sense of humour. Quite the perfect poster on the CR.
NOT the sort of fellow who has a “bunch of different screen names”, nor the sort of fellow who accuses people for absolutely no reason whatsoever of having a “bunch of different screen names” because they argued with you.
No, but i know somebody who went arround collecting on Purim, and challenged people to ask him any question on Moed, Nashim, Nezikin, Kodshim (Gemoro, Rashi, Tosfos), Harry Potter or Football. He earned a lot.
Another boy in my Yeshiva learnt Shas before his Bar Mitzvah – he started when he was eight (He wasn’t in school during the afternoons; he learnt with his father) and finished the entire Bavli and Yerushalmi for his Bar Mitzvah. He has a phenomonal memory and he can cite any omud in shas (Yerushalmi he doesn’t know by heart yet). He knows the Shakla VeTaria of the first half of Shas, and is continuing to memorize it. He knows the ???? of most things, and he knows the Rashis as well. We tried to catch him out a few times, but he is really very very good.
“Wandering and searching, a girl lone and frightened
The echo of her footsteps, tales of days of yore”
I can’t check it up because I am keeping second half of the Sefira, but I think that is from one of Yigal Caleks (London School of Jewish Song) classics – the song about Russia, maybe Forgotten Princess?
Daas Yochid:
Yibum might be a good example. There was a concept of Yibum which existed before matan Torah; that’s what Yehudah marrying Tamar was about. After matan Torah, the issur of marrying a daughter-in-law doesn’t allow this type of “Yibum”.
The ??????? in ????? the beginning of the Eleventh perek discuss this.
Shticky Guy – I think the Eruv Rav (and probably also the geirim) set up camp out of the ???? ?????.
I asked one of my Rabeim, and he told me your tirutz (possibly from the Rambam; alternatively it could have been the Raavad on Toras Cohanim). Another answer is (like a wrote above) that even after ??? ???? if the father in not Jewish, then even if the mother is, the child will not be Jewish (contary to common belief). The ??? ???? brings a proof from this ???.
Another ????? was that we are saying he was ????? at ?? ???? just like everybody else; the ????? is that he came even though he father was an Egyptian, the ???? is informing us that he wasn’t because he came with his mother to convert.
Parshas Emor
Rashi at the end of the parsha says by the ???? that “???? ??? ?????” tells us “???? ???????”. Now, the ???? says that he was ?? ??? ???????, so why was he ??????
There is a ??? in :??????? ?”? (and I think in ????? ?? but not sure) which says that ???? ?????? ???? ??? ?? ?? ????? ????? ??? means that the ???? is a ???. If so, then the son here would need to be ?????. (See ??? in ??????? ?? and ???? and ????? as to whether ??? holds of this ????)
Anybody have another ????
_TM — Huh?
I had a chavrusa for a short while who was born in Yemen but moved to Israel as a child whose grandfather had four wives – and his grandmother was on her second marriage by then (divorced at age 12, she remarried that year and gave birth at 14, if I remember correctly)
I didn’t understand your problem with Noach, Halevi.
I saw once in a sefer brought out of questions asked on the Parsha to R’ Chaim Kanievsky (??? ???? i think), and somebody asked him this question. He answered that ???? learnt “??? ???”.
I say he probably learnt the ??? ????? ??? ?? – enought halochos and lomdus to spend fourteen years on.
Nobody has discussed yet what the Golden Poppa Rule that Poppa broke. Is it the one where You say that You will not be sarcastic or joke while talking in learning?
??? ???? ???? ??? ???
I,I am happy to tell you, am Poppa Bar Abba.
I used to have a dual personality, but now we are okay.
Git Meshige – There is a difference between an “urban legend” and hearing a story firsthand from the guy who did it. Whether you choose to believe HIM (R’ Yackov Galinsky Shlit”a) or ME (EDITED) is up to YOU.
But seeing the fool would probable give me more ????? when I say ???? ????? ???? ?????? ??? ??? ???? ????
R’ Yackov Galinsky spoke in my shul about 3 years ago, and he said a story about the Steipler (I think), who said “Shelo Osani Carter” when Jimmy Carter came to Israel. I don’t remember why or when. But when Bush came to Israel, R’ Yackov Galinsky (who davens in the same shul as R’ Chaim Kanievsky) went over to R’ Chaim Kanievsky and said “Shelo Osani Bush”, and R’ Chaim supposedly said “Omein”.
May she rest in pieces.
There are bigger problems facing Anglo-Jewry.
Its generally the condensending tone of the teenage-caller which does it. If a kid, like twelve or something, would say to a teenage “Wow, you’re a teenager”, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind
jmh – Exactly. Although I always what is helps to pinch yourself to see if you are dreaming, because as much as you can dream up the whole story, you can “dream” that you feel it.
Anyways, I am not bothered if I exist or not; I am happy exactly the way i am.
And, according to the Gemara, ??? ???? ??? ????!
Doesn’t the ???? ?????? in ??? ????? say that not only must one believe in HKB”H and the fact that He created the world singlehandedly, one is ?????? to be ???? in logically proving this?
(Never learnt it properly; I was told that it is not for ????? ??????, but I flipped through it once)
I saw an advert once were they played mamash on your point — It was an advert for a beer.
Two guys were sitting in a boat, fishing, and suddenly a bottle of beer appeared above one of the guys heads. The guy grabbed the bottle, and suddenly was pulled out of the boat… The scene changes, and you see two huge aliens sitting in a room, holding fishing nets above a small hole, and a little guy – the guy from the boat, in miniature – pops out.
That is the same yesod – we think that our environment is normal, is the best is the most natural. A fish feels that his pond is the real world, there is no bigger picture. But just like the pond is a mere puddle, this advert was making as though Earth was also just a little puddle in some alien world.
And who knows? Maybe they are right!
You sound a bit like one of my friends who asked me “How do you know we exist? Maybe we are all part of one big dream and none of us were ever reality?”
I told him that I don’t care, but when he wakes up he should wake me up too.
Loads of favourite songs.
But one which I absolutely loved was Shir HaShalom/Song of Peace from MBD. Yonatan Sheinfelds version.
Kol Berama (I’m not sure if it is Yigal Caleks or Yossi Greens) is another one of my favourites.
Haifa girl – You are right that he should have referred to the style as a capella, but there is a group which produced a few albums of acapella music, and they call themselves “A.K.A Pella”. So “aka pella” isn’t such a bad mistake to make.
Which Acapella sounds like real music? I have 35 Albulms of Acapella on my computer, and not one of them sound like real music. (Maybe maybe A.K.A Pella, and even that is not the same as the real stuff)
Don’t know what your talking about. Either we have different gedarim on music, or we listen to different acapella!

If you would go back in time and kill your grandfather (before your parent was born), would you cease to exist? If you would, then there would be no way for you to kill your grandfather, because you don’t exist. If you don’t exist, then your granfather is still alive, and so you will exist. So if you do exist, then you can kill your grandfather.
A ???? ?????. I believe ? ????? ???? speaks about this in numerous places, about “A ???? which if it will be ?? will be ???? itself” – For example, by an ??? ????? who gets money from somebody ?? ??? ???? ??? ???? ??, the ??? can keep the money, even though generally we say ?? ??? ??? ???. R Shimon explains how this works: The money was given with a ???? that the ???? shouldn’t get it. So if the ???? gets it, then ????? the ??? never got it in the first place; therefore the ???? can’t get it either. So if the ???? recieves the money, a direct cause of that will be that the ???? loses the money. So it is a ???? which if it would be ?? would cancel itself out, rather than it being ?? and then being ???? itself, we say it isn’t ?? in the first place.
Same sort of ????
Haleivi – That is gonna be a big problem with time travel – If you ever go BACK in time, there is no way you will be able to proceed past that point, because you will reach the time you want back and travel back.
Oh, hold on, that’s not a problem. If you have a time machine, then just move to a minute after you go back in time, and you should miss it.
One sentence? Sure: ?????? ??? ????? ?? ????? ??? ????
If Ink spilled, would it be possible that the ink would magically spread and create a novel?
If a monkey sat with a typewriter, would it be possible for it to write a masterpiece?
If there was only a big bang, where did the complexities of nature come from? How did the marvellous world we live in come into existence? The sun, moon, stars? The millions of wonderful flowers, plants and trees? The thousands of animals?
Mr – It is perfectly simple why your post was deleted. If a user suddenly appears and poses a question (I didn’t see it, but I can imagine) that is bound to induce negative responses – or at least a big argument with everybody calling everybody else an Apikores – the Moderators will delete it.
Such discussions haven’t been allowed for quite some time (all real controversial issues were back in the good old days, see the ‘Controversial Issues’ thread, from the back page).
If you have posted for some time and are known not to be a troll, to use CR-Speak, and if the Moderators decide that there is no Kefira or anything that will cause Kefira in your post, THEN they will allow it.
So that, perfectly simply, is why they deleted your post.
8 Begodim of the Kohein Gadol
Just got a message about YEHOSHUA OIZER BEN RIVKA GLIKEL who is undergoing a serious operation now… He is in critical condition. Please can everybody be mispallel for him and pass this on to your contacts ASAP.
Should we perhaps accept a universal time for when each day finishes? Because somebody in Australia may get mixed up when another guy in Israel is a day and a half ahead!!
Maybe – everybody should keep Israeli time, or American time, or something?
The Fifth ???? (loshon harambam):
????? ?????. ???? ???? ?? ?????? ????? ????? ?????? ?? ?’ ??????, ????
????? ??????
BTW GG Yekke – There is also Shmini Atzeres, which constitutes as a Yom Tov of its own.
If you really are a Yekke, you would remember this, because you would go to mikveh on Erev Shmini Atzeres!!!
nishtdayngesheft – We had a big ?????? once what exactly is considered a ‘???? ??? ? ????’ – we had a four way ????? going on!!
GG Yekke – Nice to see a fellow mate on the CR!!!
For guys who Daven Maariv, just daven ????? and you will never forget. Friday Night is the only time you have to remember – without texts, emails or twitter.
I think there is a story in ?? about a Ger Amoleki who Dovid Hamelech killed. There is some sort of ?????? ??????? if I remember correctly if an Amoleki can become a ??, and they bring a ???? from this story that he can become a ??, but will retain his status of Amoleki.
According to that, a ?? who from ???? will be ?????? to kill himself, because he will be ????? on ????? ????.
A child of an amaleki and a bas yisrael would be a yisroel. end of that discussion.
Actually, that is not so certain. If you have a look at ?????? ??????? ?? ??: ?”? ?’ ??????, Tosfos says that the product of a union between a Bas Yisroel and Oived Kochavim would actually be a GOY.
(See :??”? ?”? and ???”? in ?????? ???; see also ????”? on the tosfos cited above)
I have never understood – zol zahn that Achron shel Pesach is Derabanan – if you will not eat something because you are ???? for ???, then why on earth do you eat it on last day ????
I still don’t understand how ???? ????? answers the question – your tayneing that ???? ????? is a shvachkayt in the lav, and therefore it is easier for the asei to get around it.
a) The asei is also shvach, because the same she’aile can stop the chiyuv to be megaleach? So why can’t you compare to a normal case where the asei and lo saseh are equal?
b) Even after the chiluk, if sof kol sof you have a way out that you are not forced to be oiver on the lo sasei to be mekayem the asei, then you would have to do that, which in this case means being shoel on the nezirus?
I think using what Halevi is saying, that there is a time when she’aile cannot be used, you can answer the second question – sometimes b’poel it is takah not shayich to pater yourself, but it is still a shvachkeit in the lav that it was made with a self-destruct mechanism.
(It might also answer the first question, because in the lo saseh is shayech shelah, but in the aseh – to be megaleach – en hochi nami it is shayich to be shoel and STOP the aseh from coming, but once the chiyuv is chal there is no way out because by then the nazir will have finished the nezirus (Apparently a gemoro; I know nothing about nezirus)
{So yitaningwut – what Halevi said is quite relevant because I don’t understand your tirutz besides for that.}
Why davka shabbos chol hamoed?
yiddeshe meidele – that story was with R’ Moshe Feinstein.
MorahRach – Briskers definitely dont put brooms by the tables by Hadlaka. Whether the story of R’ Chaim happened or not – I heard at as a true story, but I personally doubt it very much. I think the story is just poking fun at how far certain people go – through ignorance – to emulate gedolim.
Poppa – Maybe you want to become the referree for this thread?
I went somewhere on yom tov where a bochur was the gabbai, and he gave me gelilah (I was the youngest person there actually and he didn’t want to give it to anybody older than him) – and the gabbai camer over to me afterwards and APOLOGIZED.
